And @FSU.Nightmare second half. Carolina is really good and I really hate em. Hopefully we can get a win against Pitt. Tonight sucks but frankly the loss last week at State is the one that stings regarding NCAA hopes. I hate we played that poorly on national tv but it is what it is. We are going to have to probably win at least once against Duke.
Yup 🤦🏼♂️And @FSU.
We didn’t win the games we were supposed to. That’s why we were desperate for this one. I admire the “just move on” people but what are you moving on to?Their guards played out of their minds. They are so quick to the rim. Right now they are playing the best basketball in college. Just have to pick up the pieces and win the games we are supposed to .
We gave up 50 plus second half points in 2 of the last 3 games.The holes scored a cool 75 points the last 30 mins of the game
yes, but also from a personnel standpoint the biggest gap on this squad is lack of playmaking. nobody on the team naturally sees the floor well and don’t really create well for others.
so basically we try to run complicated sets but if those don’t result in an open shot, it’s guys trying to score 1:1 in a good matchup, which is fine, but there’s not much crisp passing that gets the defense off guard. which is mostly just a player skill issue.
when we had appelby, alondes (or even laravia), they would get the ball to the right place when they got the ball in an advantageous situation.
(pfred is actually the one guy who i feel like does see the floor well)
Cam is injured. Very talented guy so it makes me sad.Cam looks hurt
Boopie did not play well
Shots did not fall
Carolina got good looks and made them
Regroup and move on
A good reporter would ask why Jao didn’t see the floor at all tonight especially in 2nd half when game falling away and Cam and Boopie struggling. Just to get some experience. So many oddities in how Steve manages the rotation.give ituka some minutes
Baseball season.We didn’t win the games we were supposed to. That’s why we were desperate for this one. I admire the “just move on” people but what are you moving on to?
yeah, Alondes was killer with the cross court passes in the half court
really opened things up for those offenses that otherwise had less offensive skill
agreed getting close to jumping to that and definitely not making any WS plans until he can show he can coach this team up on the road.Baseball season.
That’s the only answer. I’m really going to try to hype myself up for baseball. I like baseball but I just don’t love it like basketball. But basketball has been a son of a bitch to me.Baseball season.
We lost on the road in conference to Carolina , who is undefeated. NC State who is 5-2 , and got blown out by UNC and FSU who is now 5 - 2 also. The games we are desperate to win are all if our home games and pick up some road wins. The State game is the one that really hurt in my mind we had a good chance to pick up a tough road win.We didn’t win the games we were supposed to. That’s why we were desperate for this one.

I really hope we don’t squander Monsanto’s absurd shooting ability this seasonyeah, and alondes was a bit of an outlier but i would argue all of our starters are below average playmakers and make up for it by being good individual scorers once they get into the paint (which is great until you play a strong defensive team like we did)
usually you expect your guards to be strong there, but sallis, boopie and hildreth all are pretty laser focused on scoring when they get into the paint, and our passes are rarely “value-add” / connective but rather resets back to the perimeter once the scoring attempt has stalled. and even then, hildreth (reverse pivot, up and under, dipsy doo) and boopie (pump fake and foul merchant) often opt for their backup moves.
Our resume for the committee right now is zilch. We have zero wins to hang our hat on. We have to do more than beat mediocre and bad teams.We lost on the road in conference to Carolina , who is undefeated. NC State who is 5-2 , and got blown out by UNC and FSU who is now 5 - 2 also.
